usually your second job is a referral from people you met at your first job if you didn't meet anyone and can't get a referral then yeah, maybe you will need to fall back on that degree

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:are they getting passed over because they don't have a computer degree or because they don't have a degree period I don't know, I just know that was the person's motivation for going to University (he was 28 and in the same year as me). His first couple of jobs were not well known companies by any means and I think one of them was also defunct at the time he was searching, so an observer who didn't know any better might've not bother to give the benefit of the doubt.

this thread reads so different depending on the cost of education, because of course if you're paying hard cash for it then you'd expect some substantial focus on employment prospects. not having paid a dime myself i very much appreciate the lack of concern for the current follies of the industry during my student years.

qhat posted:Unfortunately not having that degree still follows you around after your first job. I've known people who didn't go the degree route because they had a job straight out of high school, end up leaving their company after 10 years and end up going to school anyway because they were struggling to get their feet in the front door at many places. I'm not saying it's right, but just that it happens more than you'd think. It's insanely dumb. One thing that I really like about my current place is that they don't put much weight on degrees, the ceo is always telling people he wouldn't have been able to do what he did today as he didn't do a degree (neither did my previous boss until he got promoted to a $$$ position)

one of our recruiters uses me as an example of someone without a cs degree that can do computer touching. i do have a degree in microbiology, which puts me in stemlord territory i guess. i have a fear that someone is going to start quizzing me on cell walls during an interview and ill just stand there like a dumbass because i dont remember any of that crap.

it's useful for realising that the rot at the core of all programming and software engineering is the halting problem and it will never and can never be conquered no matter how many unit tests you write or how smart your typing system is

a degree is a bit of paper that makes it easier to get a visa to work somewhere other than where you were born. thats my main regret as a uni dropout.

I had one course on “coloring theory”, which should be useful in the days of 100’s hyper-threads on any given system. It was a design? process to prevent deadlock and other threading issues in large parallel systems. Way too ahead of its time I think, the professor was like 80 years old too.
